The miner was power-cycled.  (updated original note to indicate this)

Had to restart the miner at uptime 1 day, 21 hours.  cgminer was responding, but no mining work was going upstream to the pool.  The 'hardware errors' count was increasing rapidly.
Just cgminer? Or all of OpenWrt? Or the entire machine?

I wonder what the reason is .. hopefully bugs in firmware or cgminer, but wonder if unit could be defective somehow =(

Does the restart seem to fix it? (Hardware errors)

Yes.

Hey jgarzik or Jeff,

After these days of testing, what pool do you consider is more stable to mine with avalon? i have seen BTC Guild with 32 difficulty and solo mining w/ eloipool + high diff how high?

Im curious, to the guy who made the thermal images of the boards, is there a chance to get a shot of the power circuitry the same way? I wonder if those run really hot comparably or are quite cool....
Would make me more comfortable knowing those components are running way under limits.

Avalon shipped a month ago!  I'm glad so many people have received their equipment.  Go Avalon!

16*5 = 80 chips for 22GH/s => 275MH/chip @ 2.5W.
BFL should do around 6GH/chip @ 13W

Maybe someone already did this math but i still find it interesting.
Where did you get that from? Last thing I heard it was 72W at the wall for the 60GH/s single, which' 8 chips clock at 7.5GH/s btw, so the whole device uses 1.2 W per GH/s.
Sorry... i did the math with what i recalled by mind and i had an error of 20%...
Sure, 6GH/s @13W= 130Watt for the device vs 72Watt is about 20%. If you used Puerto's calculator that is.

Anyone asked for shipping information at DHL lately?

Can it support IPv6?
OpenWrt does.

Is there an OpenWRT image we can start up in a VirtualBox and shorten the learning curve?
I think so.

I loaded the VirtualBox image from link on the Wiki page.
Comes up 192.168.1.1, no IPv6 address.
Most likely it needs to be configured...

I edited /etc/config/network from the console (option proto static --> option proto dhcp) and got basic IPv4 connectivity.
For the actual Avalon, I will have to have a 192.168.1.x subnet configured.

I installed IPv6 support.
    opkg install kmod-ipv6
    opkg install ip

OpenWRT picked up a global IPv6 address from radvd.

My DNS server also has entries that resolve to
    localnet.vima.austin.tx.us  fe00::0
    allnodes.vima.austin.tx.us  ff02::1
    allhosts.vima.austin.tx.us   ff02::3
and these are sometimes useful for troubleshooting.

A lot of those small linux os might not include ipv6 due to size so some research might be needed to find right image or roll your own. But i am sure they crossed that hurdle years ago. But those ready to go images might be made for worse case hardware.

so do we know yet how these Avalons will connect to a pc?  usb or ethernet?

Wifi or ethernet



i have a windows 7 machine.  i understand that i can configure my 3 avalon units via the browser using open wrt via the wifi connection.

but will i need a copy of bitcoind or qt on the windows machine or does eloipool somehow act as the server?  an explanation as to how you set this up would be helpful for those of us wanting to solo.

It was indeed a static IP
I did say I needed "instructions from the mothership", which was simply the static IP address for which the machine was configured.

Once obtained -- as my review states -- you are able to access the box and set a root password.  Standard OpenWRT behavior and configuration in that regard.
is open wrt anything like dd wrt?
DD-Wrt is based on OpenWrt.

If you can configure a linksys router with a static ip and know how to gpu mine you will have it setup and running in 5 minutes.
As long as you know the ip addy, subnet, default user/pass, and maybe have a cross over eth cable handy for your pc to connectto it you will be just fine.
